CAN WE LIVE?

[Intro: NLE Choppa]

Can we live?

I know some kids totin' guns before they learn how to tie they shoe

No more bedtime stories, they puttin' shit to sleep too

Losin' hope in the future, they killing off the whole youth

I'm tryna live my dream like Martin Lu'

[Chorus: NLE Choppa]

Can we live? (People dyin' every day)

We wanna live (Tryin' my best to stay out the way)

Can we live? (People dyin' every day)

We wanna live (I'm tryin' my bеst to stay out the way)

Can we live? (Can wе live? Can we live?)

Oh, I wanna live (Can we live? Can we live?)

Can we live? (My people dyin' every day)

We wanna live

[Verse 1: B.O.A Mook]

Have you ever lost a brother to this life of crime?

Everybody dyin' and everybody totin' iron

Mothers shouldn't be forced to cry 'cause they kids had to die

Why they have to say goodbye?

We speak on police brutality, we don't speak on Black-on-Black crimes

How Black lives matter when we kill each other?

The world can be so better if we all come together

Is everyone distracted?

Is the news for information or is a distraction?

Oh, oh, can we live? I wanna live, oh

[Chorus: NLE Choppa]

Can we live? (People dyin' every day)

We wanna live (Tryin' my best to stay out the way)

Can we live? (People dyin' every day)

We wanna live (I'm tryin' my best to stay out the way)

Can we live? (Can we live? Can we live?)

Oh, I wanna live (Can we live? Can we live?)

Can we live? (My people dyin' every day)

We wanna live (Ayy)

[Verse 2: NLE Choppa]

I say "long live" and "rest in peace"

More than "I love you" and "we made it up out the streets"

Need an 808 that can recreate them a heartbeat

Every week, I'm gettin' weak, I lost my dog to petty beef

Twenty-one questions for God

Will I live to twenty-one? Because that's beatin' the odds

I got some peas in a pod that won't see a brighter day

GTL call, I play Tevo my music and it hurt me that way

'Cause I'm dyin' on the inside

He only ten years old with a Glock 9 (Glock 9)

Mama on drugs, daddy gone, so he outside (So he outside)

Incarcerated or a grave where he may reside (Where he may reside at)

[Chorus: NLE Choppa]

Can we live? (People dyin' every day)

We wanna live (Tryin' my best to stay out the way)

Can we live? (People dyin' every day)

We wanna live (I'm tryin' my best to stay out the way)

Can we live? (Can we live? Can we live?)

Oh, I wanna live (Can we live? Can we live?)

Can we live? (My people dyin' every day)

We wanna live

[Outro: NLE Choppa]

To die young means incompletion

To live old is something that I'm seekin'

Be the change that you wanna see

Heavenly Father, wake me when I'm free

Dangerous in these streets

Angels watchin' over me, I pray when karma creep

It's the good that I reap, I'm tired of rest in peace

My heart been yearning for some peace

Can we live? I don't wanna D-I-E
